Bible Review: CBP Large Print New Testament
An audio only Bible Review? You know it. You might not get to see the Bible itself or notice all the intricacies of the features, but you can still hear my thoughts. And if you're interested, you can always watch the video later.
This is an awesome New Testament from my favorite publisher - Church Bible Publishers.

Biblical Response: Being Wronged

Contenders Through History: Peter (Pt. 1)
The life of Peter is truly fascinating. He was, without a doubt, a Contender. Over the next few weeks we are going to look at several areas of his life that can encourage us to contend for the faith.
Our Desperate Need for Contenders
As Contenders, we should always be looking to stand and contend. But in the time we are living in, we must realize that it is as important as ever to stand and contend for the faith.
